Dear teachers,
This is a sentence in my textbook:
My car consumes more gas than hers.
I think this sentence can be rewritten the following way:
My car consumes more gas than her car consumes.
Does this mean in comparative sentences “be” and “do” can always be omitted?
For example:
He is a far better dentist than you (are).
I don’t like smoking any more than you (do).
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
